GUEST DESIGNER | Flora Farkas

We are so excited to introduce you to our November Guest Designer, Flora Farkas!!  Flora is a former Design Team member and we love everything she creates!  It's exciting to have her with us today, and getting to see what she did with the This Much Cut File on her gorgeous layout.

Hi Ladies, I am super happy and excited to be back on the awesome The Cut Shoppe blog. This blog and Ashley's cut files always have a special place in my heart. I am honored to be asked to be a guest designer. I must tell it was difficult to pick one cut file for today's post, but in the end I chose This Much cut file.

I love to back large titles even if it takes time, the result is worth all the effort. I backed the enlarged title with a Pink Paislee - Truly Grateful rainbow paper. I usually glue behind the cut file small paper scraps. Once the liquid glue dries I cut away the undesired parts.  

 

 

I also added fussy cut rainbow leaves using tone on tone technique. I band them to create 3D look and adhered some of them with foam tape. Next to the photo I placed Pink Paislee - Truly Grateful Stickers, Ephemera pieces and Wood Buttons. 

 

 

I just love the eye-catching big title, it makes the whole design stunning. I hope you will try out the This Much cut file !

That was it for today! I hope you enjoyed to see my new scrapbook layout. Thanks for the great opportunity Ashley! I love all The Cut Shoppe cut files and can't wait to work with another one.

 

Thanks so much for sharing with us Flora!  We love your gorgeous layout and the way you used the This Much Cut File.  Make sure you are following Flora on Social Media.  You can find her HERE on Instagram and her shop, Pink and Paper Shop. 

Love You This Much with Joanna

Hi friends! Joanna here, sharing a colorful layout with you. I used the This Much cut file that I cut out nice and big to use as my title. 

This Much

The first thing I did was back the cut file with a mix of pattern papers from the Chasing Adventure collection by Pebbles. I used pop dots on the back for some dimensions. I made a little fold in the background paper so you can see the backside and used my tiny attacher to staple it down. 

I kept all the embellishments simple since the title has so much detail. That's the nice thing when using a large cut file, you don't have to go overboard with the embellishments! I made a small cluster on the left of my photo and I just had to use the girl on the bike diecut, it was perfect with the picture! I love when elements fit perfectly that way. 

I finished off my page with a few green puffy hearts and stamped the date on the bottom. Thanks for stopping by!

Love this | Sasha Biyanova

Hello everyone!

It's Sasha here today with my new layout using two cut files!

I used The Beach Life cut file for the main theme of the layout. And this layout is about my baby girl when she was one y.o. and 4 month)) And now this is the age of my baby boy and this is so funny to look through the time)

 And also I used letters from the This Much cut file to create my title.

I love the colors which I choose for the cutted pieces. At first I thought it wouldn't perfect with these photos but I am happy with the result!

Wanna to have for myself such a beautiful flip flops and sunglasses)))

And umbrella too, 'cause)))

Hope you were inspired!

And made a lot beautiful summer photos for this cut file)

Thank you for stopping by)

Happy crafting!

I Love You This Much | Iris Fox

Hello Lovelies, Iris hopping on to share a sweet layout all about the love my daughter has with her lovey.  As soon as I saw the THIS MUCH Cut File, it reminded me of a few photos of her hugging her Hippy, and I knew I had to create something special.

I got creative with some mixed media in the background. I used Ali Edwards acrylic paint in Columbine (aqua) and Cascade (white) mixed with Avery Elle Saphire liquid watercolor.   After I gessoed the white cardstock, I swirled the two shades of aqua/blue on, adding splotches of the paint as well.

Woven wallhangings are all the rage lately, and I was inspired by one I saw at IKEA to do a layout in that style.  I painted a wood skewer with the same blue color and added a blue trim to serve as the "hangar".  I masked a triangular area on my background where the hangar would be and then stamped two sentiments from the Felicity Jane Denise stamp set in matching colors in the masked area. (WPlus9 Lake House and My Favorite Things Nightshift Blue)

I cut the cut file around 2.5"x 4.5" out of a dusty aqua textured cardstock and hung it from my skewer with twine.  After matting the photo with pattened paper, I hung it to the right of the cut file title. Then I filled in the spaces across the layout with a variety of paper tags, trims, little embellishments, and sequins (strung together), all hung with the same twine.

Once I had everything placed where I wanted, I took a Dear Lizzy gold rub-on sheet and added a little sentiment in the space under the photo.  I also rubbed on gold hearts around the page.  For a final touch, I sprinkled gold Heidi Swapp color shine.

I'm always drawn to word and phrase cut files and like finding new ways to use them.  Here, I hung it vertically with twine to be part of my "wallhanging", and I left in unbacked so that all the yummy mixed media shines through.  Go to the shop for the THIS MUCH cut file and see what you can do with it.  So fun for any hugging photos!

Also, I invite you over to my Youtube Channel here.

Thanks for stopping by!

NEW CUT FILES | I Love You This Much

I will admit, that I have a thing for large titles on my layouts.  If there's an opportunity to use one, I probably will.  And it just so happens, that there's an awesome large title cut file in today's NEW releases in The Cut Shoppe store.  I used the This Much cut file with the beautiful Pretty Little Studio Document Life collection, designed by one of our talented, former DT members, Heather Doolittle!

I wanted this layout to have a bright, graphic look.  I kept the cut file as large as I could and cut it from White cardstock.  Then I backed it with a rainbow patterned paper from the Document Life collection.  I love that it brings in all of the colors from the collection without being overpowering.  I kept contrast with the bright colors in the cut file, by using a Black & White subtle patterned paper for the background.

My photo is from a trip to NYC, earlier this year.  I thought it was perfect with the cut file, since it was a selfie of the whole family.  And since we were in Times Square, there were a lot of colors in the photo, so I changed it to black & white to make it coordinate better with the collection.  I created a border on each side of the photo with the fun, days of the week circle die cuts from Document Life.  Then for a pop of color, I placed a heart sticker at the bottom of each one.

I finished the layout by adding a few embellishments layered over the die cut.  I didn't want to cover up too much of the title, so I kept it pretty simple.  I had some cute epoxy flair from Scrappin Happy Studio, so I added the number 10 to the "O" in you, to represent that I love my family 10 out of 10!!  :)  Then I placed a second epoxy flair under the photo, with the fun camera design.  You can never have too much flair!  At the end of the layout, I debated  whether I should add some splatters of Color Shine, but decided to keep it clean, in the end.

I hope you'll head over to The Cut Shoppe Store and grab the This Much Cut File.  And you can also find our other awesome designs in the store today!!
